I currently have a single Alienbee B1600 that I currently control using a Radiopopper JrX. I would like to add a second strobe, probably another B1600, to my setup sometime later this year. Radiopopper is not selling the JrX anymore, so I can't just add another receiver. I guess this gives me the chance to change/upgrade my triggers, though it seems like the newer Radiopopper Jr2 may work with the JrX? I for what I do currently, I don't need/am not willing to pay for TTL capabilities, but I do like being able to adjust the strobe's power from the transmitter. I would also like the ability to adjust the power of each light separately. I predominantly use my lighting outdoors and power the light with the Paul C. Buff Mini Vagabond.

So what can you suggest for triggers?


Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

They sell used Radio Popper JRX receivers on Ebay. Heck I even still have some laying around collecting dust some where.

Another option for triggering and controlling power for PCB strobes is to step up to the Cyber Commander and Cybersync receivers but that is expensive and outside the Cyber Commander screen is near impossible to see.

Pocket Wizard also has a PCB strobe controller but once again rather expensive.

I switched over to Godox so all my PCB strobes as well as Cybersync and Radio Popper triggers are no longer needed.
